Idaho Falls ZOO

Tyler was like a ball ina pinball machine. He loved going back and forth from animal to animal.

Ben didn't like this too much.

The whole family!!

We got o watch the zookeepers feed the penguins fish. It was pretty cool. Ben liked it a lot.

The petting zoo!

I know this post is way over due, but at least I'm finally posting it. When Madison and Ben were here, I went with them and my parents to the Idaho Falls Zoo. It was so much fun. That zoo just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Tyler loved seeing all the animals. I think his favorite was the tigers and the penguins. When we were done seeing all the animals, Tyler didn't want to leave. Dad ended up taking all the kids around the zoo again while I fed the baby and talked with Mom 0n a bench. It was a fun, hot day and I'm glad I finally got to take Tyler to the zoo.

Jasons BLESSING!!

Jason was blessed on July 6, 2008. We could not have asked for a more beautiful, bright sunny day. Cory did such a good job. We're so glad that so many friends and family showed up to celebrate this wonderful day with us. It was so much fun just to visit with everyone in the Miles' beautiful backyard under the shade. Thanks everyone for coming. It was great having you.

I don't like this....

The cute little chin quiver

Tyler is starting to get concerned

Full out scream

There There little brother.

Cute boy!!

My two handsome boys.

Jason needs some help I think.

Allie and Ben

The guests and the FOOD.....yummy!!

The boys table

The girls table

Noah and Jason

Two cute little babies!!! I think Julie and I decided that we thought Jason was heavier than Noah.

This was our attempt at getting Tyler and Christopher together. They're like 6 or seven weeks apart too.

Last week we went to Idaho Falls for my never-ending tatoo removal treatments, while we were there, we went to Grandma's house and saw everything Dad did...he did a ton of projects. And then we went ot Julie and Brad's for a little visit. It was nice to chat and visit with them. Tyler had so much fun with Nate, Heidi, and Christopher. He keeps asking where Christopher is. And Noah and Jason were so cute. I can't believe how much hair Noah has. They are both beautiful babies. I'm glad we were able to get pictures of them together.

Roses

Here is a picture of a rose that bloomed on the rosebushes that we got from Jenni and Ted's backyard. I'm so very excited taht they started to bloom. Next year they will be so pretty.

Owl Ashtray

I saw this owl ashtray out in our alley and thought it was cool. It was pretty nasty though...Tyler and I both liked it. It was gone the next day.

First shots

A few weeks ago Jason had an appointment to get his first shots. He didn't do all that great...he cried and screamed. I felt bad for him, but he and I both survived. He is officially 12 pounds now and 24 inches long. I just love that his legs are getting chubby and his face is getting rounder. I just wish he wouldn't spit up so much....but, it's so much fun having a baby around and we're glad he's a part of our little family.

Random Pictures of Jason

Here is some random pictures of Jason....He's getting so big and so handsome. I can't believe how fast the time flys.

Here are our updates:

Tyler is starting to get along better with Jason.
There hasn't been too many hitting or kicking incidents anymore....thank goodness.
Jason is starting to coo and caa.
Jason smiles almost daily now.

And last but certainly not least....

Jason sleeps for 5 hours at a time at bedtime.

Where's Tyler....???

Can you find him???

He's hiding....?

This has been a daily occurance at our house. Whenever I'm feeding Jason and can't really move, Tyler loves to take all the couch cushions off of the couch and hide under them. This is what we get. Cushions all over our tiny living room and Tyler no where to be seen. It's pretty funny....and annoying too.
